Pastry is like fashion, a combination of innovation and tradition. In Italy, breakfast is a quick and a simple affair. Often, a coffee (either espresso or cappuccino), drunk quickly at the bar, alongside a croissant (known as a cornetto in Italy) is all that’s needed to kick-start the day, with perhaps a small snack before lunch later on. However, in certain parts of the country and on special occasions, breakfast can be more elaborate and include freshly baked cakes; which for sure will bring a bit of Mediterranean sunshine to your morning ! Buona colazione!
